Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.

Low-income green card holders still within the mandatory five-year waiting period for Medicaid would be among those most affected.

Elected officials across Queens have criticized the Trump Administration and Republican lawmakers for passing the "One Big Beautiful Bill" last week, stating that the federal budget bill will have "dangerous and rippling effects" across New York City and State.
